I think it’s safe to say that 2017 has been a pretty crazy year. If you asked me a few weeks ago what would be the most iconic but not surprising 2017 showdown, it’d be Lavar Ball against Donald Trump and of course, here we are. When the three UCLA players who were arrested for shoplifting, including LiAngelo Ball, returned to the United States, they thanked the President for helping them get home.

However, when asked about the situation, Lavar did what he does best, stir the pot.

Of course, President Trump wasn’t going to let anyone slight him so he responded.

Now that the three basketball players are out of China and saved from years in jail, LaVar Ball, the father of LiAngelo, is unaccepting of what I did for his son and that shoplifting is no big deal. I should have left them in jail!
